Sounds like dubious logic. I found this quote from the FY report which implies they both decreased:

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, sales decreased 6.9 percent year-on-year to 805.0 billion yen.
Sales to outside customers decreased 8.7 percent year-on-year. The decrease reflects lower sales of PlayStation ®3
(“PS3”) hardware due to a strategic price reduction and lower sales of PlayStation ®2 due to platform migration.

That's in dollar sales to be fair, but listing "platform migration" as the reason for lower PS2 sales also sounds like less units sold to me.

And now from Q4FY2012 when fiscal year 2012 ended (9 may 2013)

You were right about the FY year thing, I got confused because one of the reports started with last year's FY results. I can't find the document I was looking at before, but the one you're citing for the PS3 decrease makes no mention of the PS2 at all (probably since the system had been discontinued by March 2013). I know Sony's full FY report says 16.5 mil for PS3 + PS2, but there's nothing anywhere to suggest how much of that is made up by the PS2, it's a pretty huge stretch to assume it was flat or increased because it wasn't mentioned.
